I was lucky enough to snag several of these vintage tin ceiling crown molding pieces. With my DBF's help, we designed this shelf. The paint on the tile was very chipped, so I painted it a cream color, a bit of a sagey green and highlighted it with gold. I think this is one of my favorite creations.

LOL Anyhoo, Darling Boyfriend is what "I" mean it to be! You will have to take a number on him because all my g'friends wish they had one like him too!

MimiToria, we cut out the ends and the shelf top and routered them. We also cut a 1/8 in. groove into each inside end the same contour of the tin. Of course, we glued them in. That way, the tin is inset into the ends and I think it gives it a cleaner look. Posted: 7:53 pm on August 24th
